Today on the show: Kevin Gausman finally gets an opportunity to start, once again an Orioles player blows up twitter… or does he?, and we will have our final installment of “Zany but True Baseball Stories.”
Leading Off
Obscure Orioles Night at the Yard is finally almost here. Make sure you get your tickets and your obscure O’s shirts! July 10 vs. the Nationals will be here before you know it.
Bert says he’s hearing that the Majestic website is apparently only working for him when it comes to making “custom” O’s shirseys.
Orioles Go Bonkers
Does Tuesday’s offensive outburst say more about how good the O’s are, or how bad the Phillies are? The guys were lucky enough to be in attendance, and can’t imagine a more fun non-playoff game to be at.
The Birds are making moves in the AL East, but the division as a whole isn’t nearly as bad as it’s been advertised as being.
This Weekend
The Birds run into the only team that has hit better than them this month, the Blue Jays in Toronto. Emotions are sure to be running high. Josh is afraid of everything up there, from the bacon, to the players, to the new weird turf at SkyDome.
Kevin Gausman will be thrown to the wolves on Saturday. Let’s not get our hopes up too much, but hopefully he’s stick at the MLB level.
Ball Bag
Did you see Chen’s tweets?
Chen never tweets in English…so do you think these were really from him? Or from his agent, good ol’ Scott Boras?
Bert’s Zany But True Baseball Stories
It’s the third (and final) edition of Bert’s Zany but True Baseball Stories. This week, Bert tells us about some ridiculous trades, a guy who got hits for two different teams in two cities on the same day, some debut home runs, triple plays and more.
Ball Bag Round 2
Eduardo Rodriguez got beat around. Does this change your feelings at all?
What are the O’s going to do with all these outfielders?
Don’t forget to expose the All-Star Game stupidity by continuing to #VoteRoyals!
The FBI is investigating the Cardinals for hacking into the Astros’ system. Thoughts?
